MTCD PX5 BMW Unit - Trying to find Manufacturer Or Rom Update - Android Head-Units

Hi ,
Purchased this unit .
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/9-A...32819171206.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.ljmupB
Its created for a BMW x1 , seems fine and works as it should . The problem i am having is the GPS, the GPS states there is no signal and i know its plugged in. I also have a Joying unit in my Lotus which had similar issues but a ROM update sorted it out .
Unsure if it is the ROM or the antenna ( antenna had a bit of a rattle when fitting ! )
Does any one know if i can use a custom ROM on this unit considering it is not a standard 2 din stereo.
Heres some details from the settings
MCU Version - MTCD_KGL_V2.54_5
Model Number A-MEDIA Auto (1280x480)
Android 6.0.1
Build Number - PX5-Userdebug 6.0.1 MXC89L user.hct.20170502

Xtrons Radio app Android 8.0 / 8.1

Hi,
Is there a possibility to get the xtrons Radio. apk from Android 8.0 /8.1 I had a Xtrons Head Unit ( TS708L) and the Reception of RDS Signal and AF / TP function worked very well. Because the sound of the Xtrons Head Unit was very bad, i am now the owner of a Pumpkin Head Unit (Android 8.0). Sound is much better now but Radio AF / TP doesn´t work very well. I think it´s because of the bad programmed Radio App of Pumpkin.
The crazy thing, both Units use the same Radio Chip and IC . But one has bad Sound, the other good radio reception. So i tought, maybee i can use the Xtrons Radio app in my Pumpkin. I have root and i think it should be possible. Both are PX5
Notation: MCU of my new Radio is CSN_2. I think the Radio.apk must be of a xtrons unit with the same MCU because otherwise it would not work.I am right?
Thanks.

Modding my Witson Head unit SP9853i Android 9 ( Peugeot 206 )

Hello everyone ,
I have recently bought a new head unit for my car. (A peugeot 206cc)
I have no issues with it, everything seems to be working fine.
But , I want to get rid of that Dark interface, it is hard to read in the daylight, I would like a more white our gray interface.
Is that any custom rom for that device , as i have understood they are more or less the same hardware but with different rom form the manufactuer.
The Unit is from Witson , 7 inch lcd 1024x600 , the cpu is an SP9853I and it is running android 9 ( Link : fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000111099006.html )

PX5 MTCE Android 10 - WiFi Connectivity / Stability Issues

Hi All,
I'm bit new to the world of Android Head Unit who recently purchased a PX5 Android 10 head unit for my Peugeot 407.
After installation everything works fine expect for one problem. WiFi doesn't work.
If I turn ON the WiFi, it finds my network, connects to it, and then immediately the WiFi turns OFF. It keeps turning ON and OFF in loop.
So reached out to my seller who provided a firmware file using which I upgraded my unit successfully. But no luck. WiFi still has the same problem. It keeps turning ON and OFF in continuous loop.
Head Unit Specifications
Car: Peugeot 407
Unit: PX5
CPU: Octa-core Cortex-A53 @1.5G
Memory: 4GB
Storage: 64GB
MCU Version: MTCE_MX2_V3.60_1
Kernel Version: 4.19.111+
Build Number: rk368-userdebug 10 [email protected] eng.hct2.20200909.085823
Bluetooth Module: WQ_RF210 (as pre-selected in the Factory settings in the head unit)
I've attached a video of my symptoms as well. Please can you have a look and advise / point me in the right direction to fix this WiFi problem.
I spent time tracking down the seller for firmware update because I'm not sure how to identify the specific model / manufacturer etc of the unit.
Any advise on how to identify the finer details associated with the Head Unit Model would also be very helpful.
Thank you.

Did you check the wifi antenna?
I have a 407 - (2007) - does your head unit allow for aircon and heating/ventilation controls and all the canbus functions?
my orange dispaly is failing so thought I'd install one of these instead
Do you have a link for the one you bought? I've been looking for octacore - most are quad
Thanks
Found some interesting info here

I can't find my exact seller listing but below link is a similar eBay listing for the same model I have got.
Peugeot 407 Android 10 PX5 4-64
Yes, it integrates seamlessly with canbus / climate control etc. It comes with a canbus connector. There's an option to connect reverse camera if you want to. But you have to buy the reverse camera separately. Other than that there's a GPS antenna, built in and extra microphones for phone calls, memory card slot, USB slots etc.
I wouldn't recommend any sellers for this kind of after market head units as they are all sold / shipped by overseas / international sellers. There's always a risk with this type purchases. So proceed with caution. If you end up getting a good unit, the risk is well rewarded. Your Pegueot gets a major upgrade.
All the best!
Thanks!
I've been looking at these ones.
Still undecided
Might just get a new mfd screen & keep using my phone!

Have you guys found any solutions to your canbus problems with Peugeot 407? I lost my automatic headlights / daylights which I'd love to have back. Have you encountered and solved other issues with Android head units?
I can't either enable some car functions from car app from head unit (automatic lights, rear wiper, parking radar etc.). Can you see the outside / inside temperatures of the car somewhere? My A/C works somehow (responses like it should to physical buttons, but I bet it has mechanical faults instead communication problems with head unit).

Hello there,
See this workaround.
Custom ROMs such as @Hal9k_ 's Mod V5 have workarounds for this under Mod settings. In that ROM, go to Mod settings, select "Hardware settings" and toggle on the "Reset USB devices when booting or waking up".

Unknown Android headunit. Who helps?

Hi guys,
I have owned different MTCD headunits (all px 3/5).
For my new car I ordered a 64/4 headunit but it seems like it's a different chipset etc.
As I have a few problems with is and the seller isn't respnding (yet) I'll hope you can help me identify the unit so I can update firmware/mcu etc
Cons:
Biggest issue: GPS is not working. Because of that the time and date are off. If adjusting it manually it stays on the time and date from where the unit gets to sleepmode and won't adjust untill manual adjustment.
I have a annoying humming sound in the OEM subwoofer. It wasn't there with the Kenwood headunit that was installed before this one. Still can't solve it. It also humms when the RCA aren't attached so it seems a power input issue to the amp of the subwoofer. Still figuring out what to do about it.
Pros:
It seems to have wireless Android Auto besides wireless Carplay. It was not advertised but when I put on my hotspot from my mobile, it autostarts Android Auto on the headunit. Very nice!
Bought on Hipzo store (Aliexpress).
CPU INFO: UIS8581A (Octa 1.6GHZ)
MCU: 2021.12.10 15:04:26 NOR_53_L6315_G23P48F64_V:1.0
Android 11 (not sure, seems like Android 10 because of buildnumber)
buildnumber: QP1A.190711.020
System info: APP 1024x600 2021-12-11
Any help is appreciated.
Hello,
Could you share the findings about this head unit?
I have the same head unit, except for CPU and display resolution. I am still trying to understand what is the version which is compatible with this head unit.
Any info is well appreciated.

Confirming Head Unit Type

Hey all, I installed an Inav Android 10 unit on my BMW. Just wondering how I can confirm the unit type, as I see there are many sub forums here and want to make sure I post in the correct one. I looked through the settings on the unit and all I see is:
MCU Version: I believe this is the version for my OEM radio interfacing, in my case NBT.
APP Ver: Begins with Ksw-Q
Model: says msm8953 for arm64 I know this is the chip version in the unit.
Not sure where else to look. I am looking to upgrade my Zlink to the latest version for my unit, and also try to restore the bluetooth functions as it has been crippled by the manufacturer of the unit, and i have trouble connecting the wireless carplay and getting sound out properly.
